Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl-clever Ehécatl's brother, was in the business of creation. They formed the earth, sea, and night sky, as well as being regents of the first two'suns,' or world eras, of the extant five. When the brothers split the sky from the land, they transformed into the trees that separated the two, receiving the titles Quetzalhuéxotl and Tezcacahuitl in the process.
Many of the objects we see around us owe their existence to Quetzalcoatl's capacity to give life. He set out on his own to find the bones of the dead in Mictlan, the underworld. He was able to flee Mictlan and transport the bones to Tamoanchan, the gods' home, after many difficulties and tribulations. He pulverized the bones and blended them with his blood to create the 5th (and current) sun's first humanity.
Quetzalcoatl, in his act as creator, hurled his sperm at a rock, and a bat sprouted from it, biting the fertility goddess Xochiquetzal (Quetzal Flower) between the legs. Beautiful flowers sprang from her wound, which the bat delivered to Mictlantecuhtli, Lord of the Underworld, who bathed them in the water of his underground rivers and perfumed the blossoms.
With a beak or mask protruding from his face, Quetzalcoatl was frequently depicted as the life-giving wind. He was able to sweep the roadways clean with this appendage before the rain gods arrived (pic 5). He was known as Quetzalcoatl-Ehécatl, the Wind God, and was revered as a major cultural figure. His conical hat made of Ocelot fur is shown in this illustration from the sixteenth century Codex Borbonicus (photo 8, right). A conch chest adornment appears frequently in Quetzalcoatl-iconography. Ehécatl's The shell, known as ehecacózcatl (wind jewel), has been associated with the womb and the production of life. The conch shell represents Quetzalcoatl's ancestral bones, which he used to create humanity as we know it.
According to Ce Acatl Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl's narrative, after a long trek to the east, our hero was defeated so badly by his brother Tezcatlipoca that he self-sacrificed himself by throwing himself on a flaming pyre. The rising star, Venus, rose from the ashes, represented by Quetzalcoatl in the form of Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli. During the day, he follows the sun across the sky. Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli is depicted in this artwork from the Codex Borgia (img 9) depicting the quincunx: five circles linked with Venus. His hair is red, and he has red and white stripes on his body. In the upper and lower panels of the page, he is featured on the left. Quetzalcoatl-Ehécatl is on the right side.
